I didnt think it was going to be that big of a deal but for it to take three years it feels good, it definitely feels good.Especially with the way it worked out today, we got to use everybody to be a part of it. It was definitely a win that we all needed very much.Almost everybody.Pitcher Madison Bumgarner pinch hit for Cain leading off the bottom of the fifth and hit an opposite-field double off the wall in right.
